Why does patreon even need to be an app? What value does the app bring that the website can't deliver?
There are a lot of people out there that will not use a website and only use an app for things. I'm willing to bet there's some users of patreon on ios that don't even know there is a website.
I tend to use whatever has the best user experience. I don't use a browser for lemmy as an example.
I use lemmy on browser because lemmy apps seem too confusing to me lol
